thought i'd break up the string w/ a new title.
I think the whole seroquel thing is like another poster said--some people just get bored (and, I'm guessing, scared) in prison, and I imagine neuroleptics (especially sedating ones w/ low EPS) could counter that. If I recall correctly, there has long been a minority of prisoners who will feign psychosis to get a low-dose prescription of thorazine, thioridazine, etc...anything low-potency to take the edge off w/o being intolerable, like Haldol.
I think shrinks can sometimes (unintentionally) be hilarious. I remember I had a shrink try to RX Abilify right off the bat, and I kept saying "no, I don't really like neuroleptics" and she would say "its the cleanest thing we have..." so on and so forth. I looked at her for a second and saw...a shiny, new Abilify clipboard.
